Regina Spektor will be performing on 6/17/2009 at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. This week the presale for the tickets was sold out .. as it should be. Those lucky fans who were able to get tickets also received a two song download from her new album “Far” of the singles, “Laughing With” and “Blue Lips”. I posted Laughing With this past week as an mp3. Here’s a rough cut of “Blue Lips” as it was performed live by Regina. In addition, “One More Time With Feeling”, will be on the new album which she performed in Sydney Australia late 2007.

BLUE L IPS

he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and all the gods in all the worlds
began colliding on a backdrop of blueblue lips
blue veins
he took a step but then felt tired
he said, I’ll rest a little while
but when he tried to walk again
he wasn’t a child
and all the people hurried past
real fast and no one ever smiled
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away
he stumbled into faith and thought,
this is all there is
the pictures in his mind arose
and began to breathe
and no one saw and no one heard
they just followed lead
the pictures in his mind awoke
and began to breed
they started off beneath the knowledge tree
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
they marched along the railroad tracks
and smiled real wide for the camera lenses
they made it past the enemy lines
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of the planet from far, far away…
blue…the most human color…
blue lips
blue veins
blue, the color of our planet from far, far away…
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, to be for you to explore and if you like, please go to the artists and show your support to buy thier works and see them live as that is the best way to feed them, they can't survive without you! I will leave them up for a limited time. If you in fact are the artist or label that I am representing and prefer I remove the link to an mp3, please sent me an email to indy898@live.com and I will remove it and the file if I host it.
